"Latitude represents an approach to flight instruction that focuses on everything we pilots already know and love about aviation," says founder and local CFII Jeff Fouche. "I love to fly, I've discovered I love to teach, so I decided to bring a cost-effective, accessible culture to the airfield to help other people achieve the privilege I love so much."

For now, Latitude is hangared across from Aerostar behind the gate off Miles Ave on the East side of the airport. Plans are in the works to find office and hangar space that is a little more accessible. About Latitude Aviation:
